The pig clip hits so well because of how effortless and almost nonchalantly you flip it, combined with the stronger than average Joe's response to it. Honestly, that yoke run in this video has very similar potential

Random fact for the algorithm: The pig, often called swine, hog, or domestic pig when distinguishing from other members of the genus Sus, is an omnivorous, domesticated, even-toed, hoofed mammal. It is variously considered a subspecies of Sus scrofa or a distinct species.

I love that WSM is also world's strongest crossfitter. I think the clip blew up because you have the crossfit goat being amazed and he doesn't get stunned like that often. seeing a decently heavy weight and seeing the fittest people on earth be stunned at how easily you move it generates that kind of reaction in others. just like the yoke run with 120kg in this video lmao

I think the pig flip from you is so popular because elite cross fitters struggle slightly to get themselves to lift off the ground and even more when they get it half way. Whereas you have just flipped it: 1)without even having to dip to catch it and use your legs 2)with such speed 3)without even breaking a sweat 😅
@Maim133 Жыл бұрын
Everyone who does crossfit watches Mat Fraser and the rest of the elites do amazing feats of strength and workout with weights we can't deadlift. It's entertaining to see them amazed by a specialist like Klokov doing thrusters at 200KG or Brian Shaw breaking rowing records or You flipping the 660lb pig, which is a considerably roadblock for them in competition.

Fraser knows the challenge of the Pig so the video did so well because Mitch just tosses it like a warmup and Fraser's face says it all. Let's see Mitch do the Bob push hahaha

One thing/exercise, I do not understand why they do in CF - the hand walk. Never will you ever end up in a real life situation, where being able to walk on your hands will save your life. The muscles involved are not supposed to work like that that, and it cannot be good for your wrists. I think, that us showmanship. In strongman, I miss seeing tire flip. I understand, it is to avoid bicepd injuries, which is important. I have seen biceps tears happen in flips, and always with the athlete using a narrow grip. I just happen to have done hundreds of relatively heavy tire flips in my younger days, and by utilizing a broad grip ie. the right technique, you can avoid those tears. The tire flip performed as an "uphill" push and not as a curl and a push does not strain the biceps as much .... so if you teach the strongmen appropriate technique, that event could be in the large competitions again. I would LOVE to see that. 👍👍👍
